EdTech investors imagine and operationalize selected digital futures of education. And their current preferred future is an assetized one, where education institutions pay economic rent for platforms, a source of long-term income for the investor, while platforms take data rent as a source for creating new data derivatives and further ROI. Here's the full OA paper on EdTech investors by Janja and me https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17508487.2022.2081587

"Web Environment Integrity" is an all-out attack on the free Internet — Free Software Foundation @fsf

«Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice.»

#Anvur contro la revisione paritaria aperta, perfino quando sostenuta dall'Unione Europea e in armonia con i principi di COARA, che ANVUR stessa ha firmato: https://www.roars.it/open-peer-review-per-anvur-non-ha-valore/ La valutazione di stato è strutturalmente dispotica e retrograda: https://commentbfp.sp.unipi.it/maria-chiara-pievatolo-la-bilancia-e-la-spada-scienza-di-stato-e-valutazione-della-ricerca/

Today is a good day to run away as far as you can from the #Chrome browser (and anything else from #Google really).

https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/27/google_web_environment_integrity

Chrome -> @mozilla #Firefox

Search -> @Mojeek @StartpageSearch or #Duckduckgo

Gmail -> @protonmail #Mailfence or @mailbox_org

Maps -> @organicmaps or #OSMand

Android -> @murena's #eOS or @linegeos@fosstodon.org

Play Store -> @fdroidorg

And for full-blown liberty: @yunohost :)

Demonstration of topology.

Repeat a 1,000 times: #Google is an #advertising moloch and #Chrome browser monopolist, NOT your friendly free service provider!

Google is about to smack down on the #OpenWeb, killing it with their so-called "Web Environment Integrity API" #DRM proposal.

"Wanna watch those #Netflix or #Youtube vids? Better have Chrome without #AdBlocker then"

"Here's plenty #ads. Now hand over your #PII so we can grow our #SurveillanceCapitalism empire"

A web server has zero (say it with me, “zero”) right to compel any client to reveal information about itself.

Unless we inscribe this as a fundamental and immutable tenet of the web, the web as we know it will cease to exist once some version of Google’s Web Environment Integrity proposal makes it past the corporate lackeys at the W3C.

This is your reminder that potatoes are an objectively superior currency to Bitcoin or any other crypto

A Potato:
- Shows inherent proof of work
- Hacker proof
- Valid in any country
- Works in any century
- Accessible at any tech level
- Delicious and nutritious
- Is also a battery
- Can be turned to rocket fuel (AKA vodka)
